[QUOTE="benjamin2515101, post: 831639, member: 62098"] I am only 25, but am doing my best to learn best gunsmithing practices so I don't develop any bad habits! This is my second rifle I have rebarrelled but the first chamber I have cut. My old ultralight 7-08 Rem Model 7, now with a Shilen #5 contour 26" barrel, Bell & Carlson Medalist stock, Timney trigger and Swarovski Habicht 4-12 x 50. That's a Precision Armament M41 brake and Limb Saver dampener. Shooting Barnes 145 gr LRX, took some trials to get a good load worked up, but it does shoot great now that I found it. Using Nosler brass w/40.5 gr R15 powder. Picture is with this load @ 100 yards, 4 shots. Building rifles is addictive, just bought another Rem 700 to hopefully chamber for .260 Remington with a light target barrel and a Bobby Hart LRT accublock stock from Stocky's Stocks. [/QUOTE]
